COUNTY councillor Mike Priestly has been chosen as the Aberconwy Liberal Democrat candidate to fight the next General Election.

The 43-year-old is currently Conwy councillor for the Llandudno Junction Marl ward.

In a poll of Aberconwy Lib Dem members he received 100% approval.

At the adoption meeting at Llandudno's Royal Hotel on Friday he was supported by the Welsh Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams AM, and four former candidates Christine Humphreys, Lord Roger Roberts, Euron Hughes and Gareth Roberts.

Mr Priestley, who is married to Loraine with two daughters, said: "It was a very proud moment in my life.”
